Look at the definition of book:
http://www.docbook.org/tdg5/en/html/book.html

There are two <info> elements: db.info and db.titleforbidden.info.
I assume that this means that if your <book> has a <title>,
it can still have an <info>, but the <info> must not contain a
<title>. The link that you provided points to db.titleforbidden.info.

Anyway, <info> *is* a child of <book> which I am using right now.
However, <info> is new with DocBook 5.0, so if XMLMind is using the
v 4.5 DTD, then you cannot enter v 5.0 tags.

1) Does XMLmind support Relax NG?

2) If you download the v 5.0 RELAX NG schema, would you be able to tell
   XMLMind to use it to for validation and auto-completion?
